Comparison thread.

Amps to use, I'm thinking about JL audio or DC, if I go dc, I'll just get the 1.2k.

I don't know how hard I'll go on them RMS wise, don't know what 2 12" dc level 3 with lvl 4 softcone rms level is.

Reason I bought this up because I can't find .5 ohm amplifiers, (do they even make them) or do you have to strap them down to get .5 ohms

No amp brand is going to put "stable at .5ohms" . That would void the warranty on most amps. But alot of amps are stable at .5ohms and DC amps are definitely stable at .5 ohms. I would go with the 2 DC1.2ks and strap them. because if you wire each sub to its own amp you have to set the gains exactly same on both and thats REALLY hard to do. But if you strap them you can set the gain on the master and be done.

Okay, thank you, I'll take that in mind...now to look for how to clamp amps =) I'll get 2 1.2k dc amps...because I don't have a lot of space to deal with in my trunk so I cannot underpower my subs.

fixed that for ya.^^^^^^^

And i have never done it but plan on doing it with the same amps when i get get my second one. But its not hard to do.

sa 12's would work great on that power or either lvl 3's or 4's

and just so u know 1 2.5k will take up less space then 2 1.2ks

How so...from what I've learned the more power, the smaller the volume, the less power, the bigger the volume has to be.

Meaning I'd get more power from being at .5 ohms than at 2ohms.
